What was once a tired 1960s bungalow has been transformed into a stunning and welcoming residence that anyone would be proud to call home. This impressive, contemporary property is perfect for today’s family lifestyles and for entertaining alike, offering an abundance of space, a beautifully landscaped garden, idyllic village location and proximity to both city and countryside.

A Total TransformationIn recent years, this attractive, bright and spacious bungalow has been completely renovated and significantly extended, stripping out dated décor and creating an airy, contemporary home with a spectacular open plan kitchen, dining room and garden room. The latter two rooms have vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of space, as well as large, south-facing bi-fold and French doors leading out onto a raised terrace, resulting in an effortless flow between the house and garden throughout the summer months.

The Heart Of The HomeThe stylish yet classic kitchen is sure to be a talking point with guests and certainly has the wow factor, with a large central island plus enough space for an American fridge freezer, along with space for a Rangemaster cooker. You can imagine inviting your family and friends over to gather round a buffet on the island or supper at the table, before making their way to the garden room for evening drinks. Light the wood burner in winter and you have a wonderfully cosy feel, while in summer, open the doors wide and you can wander in and out comfortably. This part of the house, apart from the garden room as it has a wood burner installed, also benefits from underfloor heating so you never need be chilly. And if you want to cosy up away from it all, there’s another log burner in the sitting room at the other end of the property.

Stunning SurroundingsWhat was formerly a building site is now a beautiful, lovingly landscaped garden, with bespoke high fence panels providing privacy throughout. Some of the old roof timbers have been repurposed in the gazebo, decking and rose arch and it’s lovely that parts of the house have been incorporated into the outside space in this way. This is a wonderful place in which to relax, with space for children to play and several different seating areas to make the most of the colour and interest found out here throughout the seasons. Although you’re incredibly secluded and private, you’re still very much a part of the village community and there’s plenty going on should you wish to join in. If you love the countryside, you’ll be delighted with the choice of walking trails, cycle paths and places to explore, including the Boudicca Way and Caistor Roman Town, while the nearby village of Poringland has a wealth of amenities – and of course, you’re only a few minutes’ drive from Norwich itself. This really does offer the benefits of a country village with easy access to the city – the best of all worlds!
